Troubleshooting
ENGBO MAXI WINDLASSES WITH TRANSISTOR-CONTROLLED ELECTRONICS
(For connection, see the diagram in the Electrical wiring section)
Fault symptom:
Carry out and/or pay attention to the
following:
The action leads to:
Result
NB
You
MUST
make sure to shut off the main
power supply before connecting or
disconnecting cables and/or performing
mechanical work.
1.
The windlass is
completely “dead”.
Nothing works.
Check that:
- the main switch is in the ON position
- the fuse is intact
- all connection points make
contact
- all connections are in accordance with
the diagrams in the manual
- there is a sufficient
voltage supply to the windlass
motor.
(See item 3)
2.
The windlass will not
drop anchor and only
winds in for 3 s.
Check that:
the connections to the electronic control unit (1, 2 and 3) are in
accordance with the diagram. Swap connections 1 and 3 and the windlass
should function correctly.
3.
The windlass does
not work or pulls
very poorly.
NB
Experience suggests this is the most
common source of error.
Check the main power supply:
Measure the voltage in the battery cables
where they join the windlass while the
windlass is running.
For the motor to run
normally, the voltage
should be at least 10.5V
when the windlass is
operating.
If
the voltage is lower than 10.5V, find the
cause. Check all the connection points, such
as the main switch, the fuse, the battery
shoes, the battery voltage and, if appropriate,
the general condition of the battery.
If
the voltage is above 10.5V but the motor
does not work, this may be because long
use/overload of the windlass has caused the
electronic protection function to shut down the
motor.
Leave to cool down for 20 min and try again.
4.
If the windlass does
not function at all.
Disconnect the cables from points 1, 2 and 3.
--------
Strip the ends of a loose piece of
cable (approx. 10 cm) and make contact
between the following points:
Cable between points 2 and 3
Cable between points 1 and 2
Disconnects functions
normally controlled from
the switch panel so that
you can “force” the
windlass to operate
directly from the
electronic unit.
--------
Releases the windlass
and drops the anchor.
The windlass raises the
anchor.
The switch panel is disconnected.
--------
If the windlass operates normally when you
carry out this procedure, it means that the
fault is to be found in the cable to the switch
panel or in the switch panel itself, which must
then be replaced.
5.
If the auto stop
function does not
work.
(ONLY rope
windlasses)
Check that:
– the connections to 4, 5 and 6 are in
accordance with the diagram
– the voltage to the emitter (between 4 and 6)
is higher than 10 V DC.
– the auto stop wires are in position.
– the auto stop emitter is at the correct
distance from the rope.
The indicator lamp on the
emitter should light up
when the metal ring on
the rope is close to the
sensor.
(Can also be tested by
putting a screwdriver, for
example, near the
sensor).
If the voltage is OK and the distance between
the emitter and the rope is correct but the
lamp does not light up, the emitter needs to
be replaced.
If the windlass still does not function normally after you have carried out these procedures, the fault is in the windlass itself.
